Ingredients
Yield: 1 servings
- 1 ½ ounces mezcal
- 1 ounce Cointreau (or any orange liqueur)
- ¾ ounce freshly-squeezed lime juice
- optional: agave nectar or simple syrup for sweetening, if desired
- ice
- optional: lime wedge and salt for rimming the glass
Method
If you would like salt-rimmed glasses, begin by running a lime slice (the juicy part) around the top rim of a glass. Fill a shallow bowl with salt, and dip the rim in the salt until it is covered with your desired amount of salt. Keep nearby.
Tip in mezcal, lime juice and Cointreau to a cocktail shaker, and shake or stir until combined. Taste, and if you would like it to be sweeter (most people do!), mix in a half teaspoon of agave or simple syrup until the mix reaches your desired level of sweetness.
Fill glass with ice. Tip in the margarita mixture over the rocks. Plate while it is hot, garnished with an extra lime wedge if desired.
